Ravina the Seamstress

Hey Guys! In today's post, I will be showing you my latest make which is a long sleeved wrap top. I've also drawn out some diagrams of how I altered the pattern to make this top, so hopefully you'll be able to make one as well :) The Pattern I have broken down the step of creating the pattern below: Step 1: Basic Pattern To start of making the wrap top pattern, trace around an existing t-shirt. This top should be made out of a non-stretch fabric. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a simple t-shirt. I've used this method on every pattern I've made, just tracing around existing pieces of clothing I have. This is similar to making a basic bodice block that most sewers make. Locate the waistline on your top pattern (marked with the red line) and mark this on your pattern. Extend the waistline 4 inches from the center front. Connect a line from the neck shoulder seam down to this point. I also curved the bottom of the pattern up towards this
